[va-bird] The question of fewer birds

Hello all,
We too noticed a quiet backyard after the storm passed thru. However, bird life 
has perked up.  

Within the past week or so we have seen: Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, 
Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets (the latter as recent as 10-21 along 
with a Brown Thrasher and White-throated Sparrow that same morning).

Also, the American Goldfinches are back along with the Male and Female Downy 
that have been frequenting our yard for a couple of years now, the Chickadees 
that haven't been coming as often this year as in years gone by, a number of 
male and female Northern Cardinals, and what are mostly migrating Blue Jays and 
Robins. We are also seeing butterflies--mostly Monarchs.
